      Yes if you start taking drugs to cure it...

      The drugs you will try to cure tinnitus with can cause dementia.

      For example
      benzos
      antiepileptics
      antidepressants

      No. We’ve addressed this on other threads. Correlation does not equal causation.

      There is a correlation between untreated hearing loss and dementia, with the thought that the dementia is a result of social isolation.

      Also insomnia from tinnitus can cause dementia.
